One hundred and twenty-five is
not bad for starter.
The new principal furnishes lots of
work for all and IL is useless to say the
pupils take hold with will.
Worcester academy has enrolled
about l25 students. Miss Emery, Of
BrookGeld, Missouri, has arrived and
Is ready to go on with the music.
With her arrival the faculty is COM
plete. A good years work is mapped
out by the teachers who will DO their
best to accomplish Il.
On Wednesday evening OF fair
week the students aud teachers will
give a musical Entertainment, lasting
an hour, to be followed by refresh
ments. The proceeds to be devoted to
enclosing the Academy grounds with
a suitable fence.
An innocent custom on part of
the scholars puts heavy and soem-
ingly unnecessary burden on the teach
ers. Many pupils come as early as s
O'Clock in the morning aud as there rs
no work for them the teachers have 10

last freight conductor. Buck Northcutt,
was knocked of by bridge four miles
beyond Neosho. He lay helpless for
nearly one hour, or until the train
reached Neosho, and the crew had
breakfast before he was missed. Then
they went back after him, picked him
up for dead, but in faint voice he
said, Handle me carefully boys"
One arm was broken, and shoulder and
head badly bruised. The accident
made the train four hours late. The

Elevated Railways OF New York,

A1ACSASCsA Hull way , "a new AOEAs
New York Letter. .js, y. 5s... n. 5asss.
There are SO miles OF double track
or 81 miles in all in the elevated rail.
way system of New York. Every day
track-hands walk over it and another
Set walk under it, craning their necks
rs they lookup any defect IN the line.
At 10th street the 9th avenue track
is at points more than 60 feet high,
and the inspectors above have dizzy
walk, while those ON the surface crook
their necks out OF shape in gazing up
at the trestle. The ride over this
high section of the line makes many
nervous persons very timid, but the
track is SO securely guarded with
heavy guard timber that it would be
almost impossible for a train to
leave the rails. In one or two in
stances axles have broken, but no
train has ever left the track. If a
complete derailment should occurr at
10th street, and a train should fall
upon the rocks below, few passengers
would survive the, accident. The 80
miles OF elevated roads on Manhattan
Island is divided into four lines. AS
all roads were said tolead to Rome, so
all l. roads in New York lead to South
Ferry, at the southern end Of the island
There are a. confusing number OF
cross lines and branches which seem
to head almost anywhere, but plat
form men with strong lungs and pa
thence that knows no wearing out
stand at every junction and tell
people where to 60. The sys
tenn carries daily halt a million
passengers. To do this $500 trains
are run, $500 employees kept busy,
$40 cars and 255 locomotives used.
5000 stops made each day by the
trains, and $50 different stations
passed. Each train, which consist OF
tour or five coaches and looks as long
and large as q passenger train on a
surface railroad. will rate on the aver
age $50 persons, but during the busy
hours in the morning and evening they
are crowded to suffocation, and a
train with 500 passengers aboard is no
rarity. Your New York business man
40 NV e1 EttllduU WIlcu 4duleS come
aboard a crowded car, and itrarely &C.
currs that a man arises and gives his
seat to a woman.
The trains run at an average speed
OF twelve miles an hour. Two express
trains that stop at few stations run
down from Harlem to South Ferry in
the morning over the 9th avenue line;
the road on the westerly side OF the
city and two similar trains run up at
night.

A Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such craze about nat
ural gas as we have in this country
to-day. Gas wells were SINK with as
much vim and vigor as the celestials
were capable OF, but owing to a gas
explosion that killed several millions
OF people and tore up and destroyed a
large district OF country, leaving a
large inland sea, known on the maps
RS Lake Foo Chang, the boring of any
more gas wells was then and there pro-
hibited by law. 1t seems. according
to the Chinese history, that many
large and heavy-pressure gas wells
were sunk quite near to each other.
Gas was lighted as soon as struck, as
IS done in this country, 1t is stated
that one we'll with it's unusual pres
sure, by induction or back draught,
pulled down into the earth the burn
ing gas of a smaller we'll, resulting in g.
dreadful explosion of large district,
destroying the inha bitants thereof.
Lake Fee Chang rests on this dissl let.
The same catastrophe is imminent In
this country unless the laws restrict
further Developments in boring so
many wells. Should a simil ar explo-
sion occur there will be such an up-
heaval as will dwarf the most terrible
earthquake ever known. The country
along the gas belttrom Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana ane Kentucky will be
ripped up to the depths OF 1000 to
$500 feet and topped overlike pam
cake, leaving a charm through which
the waters of Lake Erie will come
bowling down, filling the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys, and blottine them

The Executive Stables.

President Cleveland's private stable
establishment consists of five horses,
three being mates OF the Hambleton-
ian stock and purchased in New York;
one buggy horse and one horse used
for farm work at Oak View. He has
four carriages, landau, victoria,
brougham and buggy. His favorite
carriage for his own use is the landau.
In that stately vehicle the President
with Mrs. Cleveland or Private Secre-
tary Lamont, may be seen almost
every evening enjoying a drive in the
suburbs north Of the city. He is very
rarely seen in buggy and never drives
alone. 1t was also noticeable that
before his marriage, as a rule, he was
accompanied by Private Secretary
Lamont and occasionally by secre-
tary Manning during his convaIsesc-
ence. The other members of the cabinet
are practically never seen with him
in his. carriage, except when
going to the capitol or upon ceremo-
NAL occasions, when he is accompanied
by the secretary of state. Mrs.
Cleveland when driving with her
mother or g. lady guest uses the vic
toria, The three magnificent browns
kept in the city are IT hands high
stylish and steady roadsters. They
are used for all the driving done by
the president or ladies OF the family.
The President first purchased the pair
which cost him in the neighborhood
OF a round thousand, and subse-
quentIy added perfect match in a
third horse for contingencies. Mrs.
Folsom, who in suitable weather
drives from Oak View almost. daily.
generally uses the buggy as more con-
venient for shopping and little house
hold missions, which she has taken
upon herself. The "officiai' horses
number three, and are used for pub
lie service by the private secret aries
OF the Observation-Disclosures Times.

Discomforts of Special Trains.
Railroad Gazette,

railroad Gazette.
In truth special trains are handi-
capped by pronounced disadvantages,
and many officers have come to re-
gard them in the nature OF necessary
evils, and to be avoided when posi-
Die. The fact that both the men on
the train and others whose duties are
affected by it, are working outside
their habitual round is we'll under
stood and has been heret ofore referred
to- III these columns. But q ,.romin-
emit cause Of discomfort in such trains
frequently is the excessive speed, and
it may be reasonably conjectured
That this, with it's attendant excite
ment, more or less mild; among both
passengers and trainmen, is one OF the
considerations which weighed in the
opinion we have quoted. BY excess
i've speed, we do not mean an unsafe
rate, but one that is too high Tor
comfort. When the Jarrett and Pal
mer train went across the continent
in 1876 in eightytour hours it was
reported that the passengers alighted
completely jagged out All will
agree that many trains, both regular
and special, are now run too fast for
the comfort Of passengers. A solid
train of half dozen thirty tve-ton
sleepers, with double windows closed,
as in winter, on a first-class track,
running at uniform speed, Can be run
at sixty miles an hour. orfaster, with
out q suspicion of the high speed on
the part OF most OF the passengers,
but there are comparatively few
roads that can do this, and those
that can, do not feel as though they
could afford a greatdeal OF it. Those
who attempt to initiate this method
with light cars, stiff springs, uneven
speed las required by grades), dusty
road, and opened windows find the
experiment more or less trying to
peoples nerves.
